  22. Test Scenarios • Fast Reroute was tested in the Core • Three MPLS service scenarios tested in isolation and then implemented across a core MPLS network: • Layer 2 point to point Transport services: • ATM (Cell and AAL5 modes) • Frame Relay (Transport mode) • Ethernet (Port and VLAN modes) • Virtual Private LAN service (VPLS) • BGP/MPLS VPN service

  23. SUPERCOMM 2003 Topology

  24. The SUPERDemo in Action

  25. Scalability Results

  26. The Results • Interoperability achieved! • Scalability achieved! • Resiliency tested! • A few issues were identified – read the white paper: http://www.mplsforum.org/tech/superdemo_2003.pdf

  27. Summary • Frame Relay is a $15B/year industry, still growing at 20%/year • MPLS is now a proven success (over 200 known service provider deployments) • MPLS in wide use for traffic engineering • New MPLS applications (VPNs, QoS, multimedia) are undergoing development and deployment • Interoperability and conformance testing continue to be crucial as new applications are standardized • The MPLS/FR Alliance has a key role in MPLS and FR development • Please join us!
